Yes, it's that time of year again!
On Tuesday, September 11th, the puck drops on center ice with HIFK and HPH starting off the season in Helsinki.

Kärpät from Oulu has definately been the team of the 21st century. Are they going to take the Canada Trophy again this year? Personally I think they will!

SM-Liiga´s starting soon. Which team do you support?

is the new logo a premonition for the ranking?
Helsinki Assclowns... I mean Jokerit of course.

Well unfortunately TPS has not done that well during the last years, but that's where my sympathies lie. Then again, I spent most of last year rooting for many different teams, due to

Well my g/f's family are split between Tappara and Ilves, so i'm not totally with either, rather more like against anyone they are playing. If it's a the derby then it depends who is taking me to the game

You do know that you could support HIFK and actually be regarded as a normal fan instead of a w**ker?

HIFK = better peoples
Jokerit = working class
(and FYI I am from a "working class" Swedish-speaking family background so I am not so vackra folket)

I am a w@nker as I also support Jokerit... our local club and we know a couple of the players' families socially... I normally watch 10 or so games per year, plus play offs.
We might be lower class people than HIFK, but we play better hockey! I usually watch the HIFK-Jokerit games with a family who support HIFK, and the Blues-Jokerit matches with a family who support Blues... luckily they do not chant 'you're a w@nker' through the whole match (although maybe they think it)

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
